Tony Pollard Held To 63 Scrimmage Yards, Zero Scores In Loss To Chargers

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard rushed nine times for 44 yards, adding four receptions on four targets for 19 yards, in a defeat to Los Angeles on Sunday. It was a down performance for Pollard, who was semi-game scripted out of this one with the Titans playing from behind most of the game. Tyjae Spears actually bested Pollard in the rushing department for the first time all season on two fewer carries. The former Cowboy also appeared to tweak his ankle late in the first half but was able to come back in the game shortly after. Pollard will be susceptible to down games like this due to the nature of the Titans' incompetent offense, but he remains a featured player who will see around 15-20 opportunities per game, even with Spears back in the mix. Up next is an extremely tough matchup against the Vikings' top rush defense, which will likely demote Pollard to only a flex option, down from his usual RB2 spot.
